Smart, Gritty, and Fun

Hey, check out Dennis' "slightly altered ego," Trip McCool. His new CD, The Traveler, is buoyantly melodic Irish folk-rock, smart, gritty, and very fun. He sings the old folk chestnut "Drill Ye Tarriers Drill" like his muscles still hurt from the work – a good reminder that songs become chestnuts for a reason. You just have to strip the varnish and get back down to the honest wood.

New Album Finally Here!

This is the culmination of many years of my past all summed up in this one piece of work. It reflects my love of the art of songwriting and storytelling while paying respect to my musical heros The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, The Dubliners, and all those who would put a tune to a story and bravely stand up in front of their friends and family and brave the consequences good and bad. It took a full year to write and record this collection and so I proudly take to my feet. I can only hope these songs mean as much to you as they do to me.
